The role is on a desk that works with US-based institutional clients including both real money and hedge funds, with more focus on the real money side. The ideal candidate will have a strong book of established business but also the ability to continue to grow their account list.

My client is a Global Investment Bank located in Mid-Town Manhattan. The bank is in expansion mode after a very strong year and is utilizing top technology in the market. The environment is very collaborative and more entrepreneurial with easily visibility to upper management.
